Memories & Candles

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I was privileged to graduate with Stephanie from the MCC nursing program. Stephanie was our class president and did a great job. After graduation, Stephanie came to LNRMC where she worked on the telemetry unit and I was on the Medical/Surgical unit. Then we both moved on to Novant where she stabilized 'em and after a few days I pushed 'em out of the door. We crossed paths occasionally at the antique stores.

Then we both moved on to Novant where she stabilized 'em and after a few days I pushed 'em out of the door. We crossed paths occasionally at the antique stores. Each time we ran into each other she would always tell me about her "pumpkin" and she would always swell with pride when she spoke about her. Her smile was uplifting and I will miss her.
